Han EV AWD 380kW vs Bmw M4 Coupe: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Han EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 3.86 s versus 4.38 s for the Bmw M4 Coupe. The instant torque of 680 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Han EV AWD 380kW leads by 0.52 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW is doing 154 km/h against 157 km/h for the Bmw M4 Coupe. The gap is 0.33 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Han EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.05 s versus 12.21 s. The 0.16 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Han EV AWD 380kW maxes out at 180 km/h while the Bmw M4 Coupe keeps accelerating towards 250 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.39 s.
Around 476 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Bmw M4 Coupe overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 70 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Coupe finishes in 21.75 s versus 24.04 s. The 2.29 s delta in favour of the Bmw M4 Coupe shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Han EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw M4 Coupe at 250 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.11 seconds. The 0.52 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
BYD Han EV AWD 380kW is slightly faster than the Bmw M4 Coupe to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
